Cancer cell membrane-modified biodegradable mesoporous silica nanocarriers for berberine therapy of liver cancer.
Article in RSC advances, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Berberine (Ber) is regarded as a new, active and natural anti-cancer product; however, its clinical application has been limited due to its low aqueous solubility, poor gastrointestinal absorption, short residence time and poor targeting abilities. Hence, we reported a biomimetic nanoparticle as a drug delivery system to surmount these obstacles. We fabricated disulfide (S-S)-bridged mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (ss-MONs) for Ber loading, which possessed uniform morphology, controllable mesoporous properties, highly-efficient drug loading capacity and superior biocompatibility. More interestingly, ss-MONs exhibited effective biodegradability under glutathione conditions through the breakage of the disulfide bond in ss-MONs, which promoted the Ber release. After coating human liver cancer HepG2 cell membranes (CM) on the surface of ss-MONs, the obtained CM-ss-MONs-Ber enhanced accumulation in liver cancer tissue through homologous targeting and effectively avoiding rapid blood clearance. Our findings indicate that CM-ss-MONs might be desirable drug carriers to promote the clinical use of Ber against liver cancer.
